Yes, San Clemente Porta Pros builds restroom packages for film shoots, from a single standard porta potty for a two-hour permit shoot to a full 4 stall restroom trailer for a multi-week production, with same-day scheduling around your call sheet.
It depends on crew size and how long you are on location. A 20-person crew running a single day fits under OSHA 1926.51(c), which calls for 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, so one standard unit can technically clear the bar, though most producers add a second for talent or wardrobe. Once headcount climbs past 20, the ratio shifts to 1 toilet and 1 urinal per 40 workers, and a production crew of 50 to 80 usually lands better with a 4 stall restroom trailer or an 8 stall restroom trailer instead of a row of standalone units. Multi-day shoots at a fixed location in San Clemente also make a stronger case for a trailer, since crew tends to treat it like a base camp fixture rather than a rental. If the production includes on-set dressing rooms or a producer's suite, look at the luxury restroom trailer line, which handles that dual role without crowding the honeywagon area. Every package we build accounts for ADA needs too. Under ADA Standards 213.2, any cluster of single-user portable units needs at least 5 percent accessible, never fewer than one, so a 10-unit crew lot needs at least one ADA accessible porta potty on the plan from day one, not added after a location scout complains.
Restroom trailers with interior lighting, climate control and pumps need real power, and that is where portable generator rental film crews already budget for connects directly to your sanitation order. A 4 stall restroom trailer or luxury restroom trailer draws enough load that most productions run a dedicated generator or tie into a temporary power pole rather than share circuits with grip and electric. We coordinate delivery timing so the trailer and its power source land on set together, since a trailer sitting dark on a Saturday call is a wasted rental. If your unit base camp also needs task lighting for early call times or night exteriors, a light tower rental pairs naturally with the same delivery run. Roll-off clearance matters here too: any generator, trailer or roll-off dumpster rental sharing the lot needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck, which location managers in San Clemente should flag during the initial scout, not the morning of load-in. We also handle basic housekeeping standards on set per OSHA 1926.25, which calls for scrap and debris cleared from work areas, something crews often overlook once base camp gets busy.
Placement depends on the lot, the street and whether any of the setup sits in the public right of way, which needs confirming with the city before locking your unit plan. We ask for a site sketch during quoting so we can flag tight driveways or slope issues before the truck shows up, since a porta potty placement guide conversation up front saves a reschedule later. Ground surfaces matter for accessible units specifically: ADA Standards 302.1 requires floor and ground surfaces be stable, firm and slip resistant, so a gravel lot or soft shoulder location may need matting under the ADA accessible porta potty before we deliver. If your production books a location near Dana Point, 6.5 miles west of San Clemente, or San Juan Capistrano, 7.6 miles northwest, we run the same equipment out on the same delivery schedule, no separate dispatch fee structure to sort out. Crews shooting further out toward Laguna Hills or Aliso Viejo, both around 15 miles northwest, should mention that at quoting so we route the truck efficiently. For productions that also need a lockable gear or wardrobe container on site, a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental can share the same delivery window as your restrooms.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| ada | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | - |
| trailer | $175-$2,500 | $1,650-$2,500 | - |
Short shoots often run better on a day rate, while a production locked into one San Clemente location for weeks should compare against the monthly porta potty rental numbers before committing to a trailer's weekly rate. For a deeper breakdown by unit type, the porta potty rental cost page covers the full range.
Book as soon as the location is locked, ideally one to two weeks out for standard units and two to four weeks for a restroom trailer, since trailers have fewer units in rotation. Rush requests are possible; check emergency porta potty rental for same-day options.
Yes. We coordinate delivery so the trailer and its power source arrive in the same window, avoiding a dark trailer on set. Mention your generator needs when requesting a quote so dispatch can route both pieces on one truck run.
If units are clustered, yes. ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit per cluster, regardless of total crew size, so even a 6-unit set needs one ADA accessible porta potty.
A standard porta potty covers crew sanitation at the lowest cost. A luxury restroom trailer adds climate control, mirrors and a private feel, better suited to talent, producers or extended location days.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before your shoot dates. We recommend checking with the city during location scouting; see porta potty permit requirements for general guidance.
